India has long had certain restrictions on imported goods coming into the country. The South Asian country has now expanded this list, leaving technology companies in a very difficult situation. Technology companies, especially Apple, are trying to solve this problem.
India imposes licensing conditions on electronic devices
India recently introduced a license requirement for laptops, tablets and mini computers to enter the country. The Indian government, which wants the production of such devices to be made more in the country, announced the limitation with a sudden decision.
Following this development, Apple, HP, Dell, Samsung and many other manufacturers had to temporarily stop imports. Surprised by the decision, companies say that they expect such a measure to be taken, but that this decision, which was taken in a very short time, caught them unprepared.
The firms are currently negotiating with the authorities in New Delhi on how to obtain the necessary license to import their goods. Many companies take action quickly in this regard and expect the imports to be completed as soon as possible.
The reason for this is the approaching of Diwali shopping days, which is an event like ‘Legend Friday’ in the country. At the same time, with almost a month left until the opening of schools, companies want to make the most of this sales opportunity. It should be noted that for most companies, August and September are the time periods when they reach the most significant sales volume.
While companies have not yet made a statement on this issue, experts state that this may prevent new products from coming to the Indian market in the future. However, the Indian government, which wants the production to be done in their own country, does not seem to take a step back from this decision.
After this decision taken by the Indian government, you wonder how Apple and other companies will follow in importing into the country. So what do you think about this subject? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
